Since we are gardeners, most of us are also cooks. Perhaps sharing recipes and ideas would be enjoyable to the members. Ah, the thrill of finding a new recipe for zucchini!

Nice. I happened to find a thread here that someone stated titled What are you cooking tonight ? ( or close to that statement) seems it did not take off. I love making zucchini fritters with mine. And I have an awesome Zucchini bread recipe I use. And experimented with the bread recipe, it lasts a year frozen with no side effects what so ever. Usually I make up to 6 loafs when I do.

I actually thought fritters could be frozen easy also, stacked with wax paper between, and in a good freezer bag. Steamed up slowly to thaw.

Recipe threads sound like a great idea.

I recall that there are a number of recipes for zucchini cakes. Something along the same line as carrot cake.

As I was making the zucchini fritters the other day, and your squeezing the juice out of the pulp. I was thinking what a waste the liquid down the drain. Next time I am saving it to toss later into something.

I know someone on here who would turn Courgettes into slurry (Zuchini) to you US folk. We like it raw, sliced on salad .....oh yes we DO @zigs - when I don't fancy cooking

I like the idea of a recipe forum, but maybe we start with a thread on it and then if it's popular we go from there?

If you want to get a thread started on it @marlingardener, that would be great :D.

Funnily enough, I was given 3 GIANT courgettes the other day so could do with these recipes myself :LOL:

I am so sorry I started this. Obviously it irritates Knapicius; I mentioned zucchini as a joke and it took off; and frankly, I think I made a big mistake by asking if we could have a recipe/cooking forum. Perhaps we should just let this idea die.

Wow. Not sure how you got I was irritated. Its just much easier if you have one "Cooking/Recipe" thread devoted to that, so folks have one to view collectively. And I don't get how either one is a "joke". did not find it funny in the least, did not find any emotional connection to either one, funny, sad or any other emotion.

Wow. I'm surprised at the animosity. I guess I found out why we don't have a recipe section.

It does seem odd that there's so much discussion about growing food but not much about what to do with it.

I get it, re-read the whole thread again, still don't get why "someone " flew off the handle like that. whatever.

Last summer were dark days for the Forums. I was new then and found it particularly hard. Certain people decided to depart and things are better now.
